Every year, Village Lanka celebrates International Women's Day by giving out the 'දෑ අභිමානී' (Dhe Abhimani) Award to honor and appreciate the incredible women in our community. This award recognizes the hard work, dedication, and achievements of women who have made a positive impact in their respective fields. From business leaders to educators to activists, these women inspire us all with their passion and drive to make the world a better place. It's a beautiful tradition that brings our village together to show support and gratitude for all the amazing women who help shape our community. And as we gather each year to celebrate these proud women, we are reminded of the endless possibilities and potential that lie within each of us. Here's to celebrating strong, empowered women everywhere!
Village Lanka is a remarkable organization dedicated to helping children in rural villages in Sri Lanka by providing them with school books and other necessities they may need to succeed academically. Their motto, 'අකුරුකරන්නට අත්වැලක්,' which translates to 'Extending a hand to those in need,' truly encapsulates their mission of lifting up these vulnerable communities. By ensuring that children have access to essential learning materials, Village Lanka is empowering the next generation to break free from the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential. Through their efforts, these children are given a chance to thrive and build brighter futures for themselves and their families. It's heartwarming to see an organization like Village Lanka making such a tangible difference in the lives of young learners, and inspiring us all to lend a helping hand where we can.
Hey there! So, Village Lanka is doing this pretty awesome thing where they're collecting used summer clothes from overseas to distribute through rural villages. I mean, how cool is that? They're not just helping people in need stay cool in the sweltering heat, but they're also reducing waste and promoting sustainable fashion practices. It's a win-win situation all around! Plus, it's great to see an organization thinking outside the box and coming up with creative ways to make a positive impact on communities. Kudos to Village Lanka for their innovative approach to giving back and making a difference in the world.
